Sunset through the Ghost Gums

I've been trying to explore nature a lot more lately, Ive been looking a lot at our landscapes but Ive found a different beauty in the native trees. The Ghost gums are an interesting piece of nature to look at, they appear almost other worldly. The bleach white bark, the smooth trunks and tall outstretched limbs, they almost seem to be alien compared to other trees. I found by taking a moment at sunset to simply examine them they take on a life of their own. They almost seem like a strange slow moving ancient being that has grown from the surrounding land.

This is my attempt to capture their natural yet somehow alien beauty at sunset.

I find that my art enables me to express elements of my world that can't necessarily be seen by the naked eye, its an attempt at conveying something a bit intangible. Abstraction is the primary way I communicate my ideas and experiences in art.
The naive and somewhat primitive lines, shapes, colours and textures I use are my attempt at capturing the atmosphere, personality or feeling of a place or person I have encountered in my life, realism or a photograph in my opinion doesn't always capture these elements of the world.
I feel that my art brings these to the surface...it shows the soul of something, somewhere, or someone. Perhaps you will see someone you know within my strange works, maybe even yourself.
